Home Ec Dean 
Will Visit UTMB 

Dean Lura M. Odland of 
the College of Home Econom¬ 
ics of The University of Ten 
nessee is scheduled to be the 
principal speaker at the Home 
Economics Club banquet Sat 
urday night. April 29. 

While here. Dean Odland 
will confer with various cam¬ 
pus committee members o n 
proposed projects. 

Some of these projects arc 
the U-T Martin self-study pro¬ 
gram. proposed curriculum 
changes in Home Economics, 
and the possibility of a voca¬ 
tional Home Economics pro¬ 
gram. 

It is hoped that Dr. Myra 
Bishop, head o f the Home 
Management Department a t 
U-T Knoxville; Miss Jean De¬ 
laney, member of the child 
development staff, and Miss 
Velma M. Riley, assistant to 
Dean Odland will accompany 
her on her visit to U-T Martin 
campus. 

Phi Kappa Phi 
Considered Here 

The first organized effort to 
obtain a chapter of Phi Kap 
pa Phi for the U-T Martin 
campus was accomplished re¬ 
cently at a conference attend 
ed by Dean Paul Meek, the 
department heads and facul¬ 
ty members of Phi Kappa Phi 

This soeiety is a well-known 
honorary fraternity of nation 
al scope with headquarters in 
Los Angeles, California. Al 
the present time. Phi Kappa 
Phi is the major honorary 
fraternity at The University 
of Tennessee at Knoxville. 

An attractive feature t h e 
organization has to offer is 
membership to qualified stu 
dents in each of the five de¬ 
partments now authorized to 
grant degrees at U-T Martin 
Generally, the top ten per 
cent in each curriculum are 
invited to become members 
during their senior year. 

It is the opinion of the ad 
ministrative officials that a 
chapter of Phi Kappa Phi for 
our school will encourage stu¬ 
dents toward the objective of 
attaining high scholastic hon 
ors during their four-year ten¬ 
ure at this Branch of The Uni 
versity of Tennessee. 


“More progress for the dallar invested in I'TMB 
has been realized than in any other division of the 
university and we are tremendously proud of the pro- 
gre.ss that this institution has made.”

Mary Arnold Is 
AGR Sweetheart 


♦ T h e ' c statements were 
made by Dr. Andrew D. Holt, 
president of The University of 
Tennessee, in a short inter¬ 
view preceding his address to 
the UTMB students and fac¬ 
ulty. a majority o f which 
were present yesterday at the 
gymnasium. 

Dr. Holt was introduced by 
Dean Paul Meek after a brief 
program including an invoca¬ 
tion by Reverend William G. 
Adams. Pastor of the First 
Methodist Church of Martin, 
and a few comments from 
Coach James C. Henson and 
Bobby Duck, president of the 
ASA. who acted as master of 
ceremonies. 

“ICs mighty good t o be 
here,” began Dr. ’’Andy” 
Holt. He then proceeded to 
entertain the audience with 
several jokes before he an¬ 
nounced the title of his 
speech. 

“Care and Control of the 
Human Tongue” was the title 
ghon his speech by Dr. Holt, 
lie compared the human tno- 
cue with a jaguar automobile 
and li.sied five points to be ob¬ 
served in the care and con¬ 
trol of the jaguar and the 
human tongue: 

First ho advised that one 
must keep the jaguar and the 
tongue polished. He empha¬ 
sized that one must bo able 
j to express himself well if he 
hopes to be impressive. The 
three “polishes” he recom¬ 
mended for accomplishing 
this were a broad vocabulary, 
correct usage of grammar and 
mastery of the technique of 
making people listen to you. 

Secondly, he recommended 
that one keep his jaguar free 
of carbon. “Carbon” in the 
longue is profanity, risque 
stories and using the Lord's 
name in vain, according to 
Dr. Holt. 

Next he advised one to re¬ 
gulate his accelerator. Here 
he emphasized that there is 
a time to speak and a time to 
listen- -and a wise man knows 
the right time. 

Dr. Holt also advised one 
to keep his ja.guar fueled, for 
ho stated that there is no 
power without knowledge. 

Finally. Dr. Holt suggested 
one keep his engine in per¬ 
fect tunc. He concluded hl.s 
speech with the following 
word.s; 

“Let the words of my mouth 
and the meditation of my 
heart be acceptable i n thy 
sight. O Lord.” 

In the interview preceding 
his speech. Dr. Holt stated; 

“My visit to UTMB is pure¬ 
ly for social reasons, for your 
friendly student body lets me 
make a speech and laughs at 
my jokes which is the height 
of hospitality." 

Following the assembly, Dr. 
Holt, Doan Meek. Administra 
live officers, and Department 
heads attended a luncheon at 
the Homo Economics Building 
served by Martha Dale Richie, 

. Jeanette Sammons and Caro- 
’ lyn Smith under the direction 
; of Miss Mary Ida Flowers.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL NEEDED 

A great measure of the value in belonging to a 
fraternity comes from the association with mem¬ 
bers of other groups, both men’s and women’s, as 
well as those found within the individual groups. 

Fraternities for both the men and women have 
not developed completely independent of each oth¬ 
er. This can be seen on this campus quite clearly. 
Both rivalry and cooperation have contributed to 
the strength of the individual organizations. Com¬ 
petition must be present, but meeting common pro¬ 
blems together makes individuals bigger and 
stronger. 

It is the object of National Panhellenic Confer¬ 
ences “to maintain on high plane fraternity life 
and interfratemity relationships, to cooperate with 
college authorities in their efforts to maintain high 
social and scholastic standards throughout the 
whole college, and to be a forum for the discussion 
of questions of the college and the fraternity 
world." 

The Panhellenic Council could help solve many 
problems which are being encountered during the 
recent months on this campus. Many problems 
such as the formulation of rushing rules and the 
cooperation in all campus affairs can be solved 
through the Panhellenic Council. Membership 
alone, would not mean the solution of problems. 
However, to be fully effective and meaningful, co¬ 
operation of each individual organization which go 
to make up the council and then striving to obtain 
the de.^ired results is essential. 

Definite steps are being taken to organize such 
a council here on this campus. ’This will not bring 
an end to the problems, but through united efforts, 
it will help. 



Paging Mr. Robert Brown, Sir - 
Here! Here! Here! Here! 


BY BETTY GAY REED 

Is your name Jane Doe or 
Jane E, Doe? Is your name 
John Smith or John J. Smith? 
With so many like names on 
this campus, it is really hard 
to know whether you are you, 
or the guy coming up the walk 
or the one just leaving the 
building. 

Can you imagine the pre¬ 
dicament of the teacher who 
had two Wayne Wallace’s in 
the same dairying class and 
he gave the A to the wrong 
Wayne Wallace? Or suppose 
the bursar has a check for 
Miss Joyce Baker whose name 
is really Sandra Joyce Baker 
instead of Joyce Anne, but 
the check is sent to Sandra 
Dean. Now, figure that one 
out. 

One year there was a James 
Wilson Hall and a Hall Wilson! 


James enrolled here. The bur¬ 
sar accused the registrar of 
miscounting, and the registrar 
accused the bursar of letting 
in a student without paying 
his fees. They finally got this 
settled when the registrar pro¬ 
duced both enrollment cards 
so both James Wilson Hall 
and Hall Wilson James had 
to pay their fees. 

Now, you might not think it 
hard to keep Jerry D. and 
Jerry M. Arnold or John E. 
and John T. Harris, or James 
L. and James H. Smith 
straight; but what do you do 
with FOUR Robert Brown’s? 
There have been four Rohtft 
Brown’s on campus this year 
with no way to distinguish 
them except for their middle 
initials. Suppose when Robert 
C. Brown wrote in for room 
reservations he didn’t give his 
middle initial, and Robert G. 


ASA ELECTION IMPORTANT 

As the time draws near for the election of the 
All Student Association Officers, we each need to 
give much thought to this task. ’Tlte All Student 
Association pre.sident is, in effect, the president of 
the .<tudent body, and the vice-president and secre¬ 
tary .il.-io hold prominent iiositions in student gov¬ 
ernment. 

In order to be able to select well qualified offi¬ 
cers, ones to whom complete confidence could be en¬ 
trusted, a lot of consideration should be used in 
the nomination of the candidates. Each of these 
offices involve much work during iiregular hours 
to meet the many demands. Per.sons nominated 
should recognize this and be willing to accept the 
responsibilities that the individual offices carry. 

During this past year, our All Student .Associa¬ 
tion Officers have done a tremendous job in repre¬ 
senting each member of the student body in the 
best way possible. Bobby, Charles Lee, and La- 
raine have worked continuously to make the stu¬ 
dent problems known to the administration and to 
see that they received due consideration. 

As the nomination date draws near, let us give 
much thought to the nominations made. After this 
and as election day rolls around, let us make wise 
selections, selections based on intelligence and in¬ 
tegrity, and not merely friendship. 


PRESIDENT ANDY QUICKENS SPIRITS 

Our student body and faculty seemed to enjoy 
the short, but thoroughly delightful visit paid us 
by President Andy. 

He left with each of us a feeling of pride to know 
that our University here and at Knoxville is being 
run b ysuch capable jiersons. Is seems very pro¬ 
bable that each student and faculty member would 
like to say a special “thank-you” to our President 
for leaving with us many points to ponder and use 
in self evaluation. 

President Andy can always be counted on to lift 
one’s morale and make the day seem brighter. He 
seems to add to each visit and talk, that personal 
touch which everyone enjoys. 


ACT Scores To 
Rate Freshmen 


BY HARRIET DREWRY 

How will high school stu 
dents get along as college 
freshmen? 

The American College Test¬ 
ing program produces scores 
of the individual student 
which predict the answer. 

These predictive indices, 
recently announced by Dr. R. 

! F. Thomason, dean of admis¬ 
sions a t The University of 
Tennessee and state coordin 
ator of the Tennessee College 
Testing program, will indicate 
how* well the student will do 
in fresman year studies at 
each college. 

“Hundreds of colleges will 
lhu.s l>c enabled to give sound 
er advice and to make better- 
informer decisions concern 
ing students applying for ad¬ 
mission.” Dr. Thomason de 
dared. 

The predictive indices, plus 
other statistical data, are bas 
ed on correlations between 
scores made by students tak¬ 
ing the ACT tests and fresh

I heard no girlish laughter, 

No high-pitched boyish yells

No one was milking cows. 

Weeds were growing in the

Rust on all the plows. 

The T-Room was de.serted. 

The Rebel Room forlorn; 

There were no student

No raucous auto horns.

mathematics, social sciences, 
and natural sciences. 

For example, the indices 
might predict that John Doe 
would fail his freshman year 
at one college, but is likely to 
make a B minus average at 
another college. 

Colleges will use the indi¬ 
ces to help students and par¬ 
ents in a variety of ways. Dr. 
Thomason explained. Imme¬ 
diate uses arc in counseling 
young people on college se¬ 
lection, in advising them on 
applications for admissions, 
in placing the min appropri¬ 
ate sections o f freshman 
courses, in judging their ap¬ 
plications for scholarship aid, 
and in counseling them on 
freshman programs and study 
efforts. They are also of use 
to high school officials i n 
counseling their students a- 
bout college an din getting a 
clear view of how well their 
high schools are preparing 
students to enter college. 

Under the ACT program 
started last year, ACTT tests 
are given to all high school 
seniors. The scores made by 
individual students are sent 
to three colleges designated 
by the student at which he 
may b e considering enroll¬ 
ment. 

Dean Paul Meek of UTMB 
said that the ACTT examina¬ 
tion is replacing the scries of 
separate tests formerly given 
at the time of college en¬ 
trance. A significant advan¬ 
tage is that they are available 
to the individual student and 
to the college or university 
from three to nine months be¬ 
fore contemplated entrance 
date. 

“The ACT scores provide 
the most reliable means possi¬ 
ble to college officials for 
counseling with students with 
respect to the curriculum: 
they desire,” concluded Dean I 
Meek. I 


had already reserved one; Mr. 
Duncan would think he al 
ready had one so he would 
merely send him a form let¬ 
ter saying his room was re¬ 
served. Then the same thing 
happened when Robert H. and 
Robert W. WTOte in for theirs. 
Gads! What a mess on regis¬ 
tration day — foiu* Robert 
Browns and in one room. 

If you send a letter to Willis 
Bennett, who will the postman 
give it to—Willis M. or Willis 
N.? They’re both from Tren 
ton, and unless the middle 
initial is given you are in 
trouble. 

1 really feel sorry for Mrs. 
Iva Corum when she’s at the 
desk in the dorm, because 
she has to be on her toes all 
the time to keep from mak¬ 
ing a mistake. Suppose Mike 
Barker calls for Martha Carol 
Taylor, and by mistake Mrs. 
Corum calls Martha Jane. Just 
imagine the disappointment 
for Martha Jane (nothing per¬ 
sonal. Mike) when she finds 
out who her caller is, and I 
bet Martha Carol won’t be too 
happy either. 

Several years ago two Mil¬ 
dred Louise Pearce’s enrolled 
in home economics. If they 
got the same grade everything 
was fine; but if they go differ¬ 
ent grades, the registrar had 
to call out the FBI to see de¬ 
termine which one got what 
grade. 

If you know a Wayne Ad-: 
ams from Martin, make sure I 
to specify whether it is Chas. | 
W'ayne or Walter Wayne. It’s 
really t o o bad that Wilma 
Faye and Wilma Gale Baker 
could not have been twins; 
I’m sure their mothers would 
agree two Wilma's would be 
better than one. Wouldn't it 
have been bad if the Marines 
had called Charles Wayne Da 
vis instead of Charles Oliver 
Davis. 

Initials will not work in all 
cases. There are two Mary 
A. Smith's—Mary Alice and 
Mary Ann. 

Sometimes the names are 
not exactly the same, but are 
very similar like Billy Gene 
Spence and Martin Eugene 
Spence or Barbara Ann Peal 
and Barbara Ann Peeler. It’s 
surprising how many people 
get them confused, but know¬ 
ing the girls, I can’t under¬ 
stand how anyone would ever 
think Barbara Peal, Barbara 
Peeler. I mean, they are just 
different. 

Of course, it is always hard 
to distinguish between two 
people if their names are sim¬ 
ilar—James E. and James W. 
Williams, or Jerry D. and Jer¬ 
ry L. Smith, or James M. and 
James T. Stricklin. Sometimes 
though the first names are 
spelled differently — Pattie 
Sue and Patty Jo Alexander, 
and Bettie Lou Powell and 
Betty Ann Powell. 

It is really very important 
for everyone to use his com¬ 
plete name because you can 
never be sure when you might 
meet another you. 


AD PI PLEDGES 
GIVE DIRECTORIES 

The Alpha Delta Pi pledge 
class presented sorority direc¬ 
tories to the active members 
at the chapter's regular meet¬ 
ing, Tuesday, April 11. The 
pledges made the directories 
themselves, and spent a lot of 
time decorating the blue and 
white covers. 


How Lies Your 
Future, Student! 

"How lies your future, col¬ 
lege student? 

“ ‘The future is hazy, but I 
see a home, children, and se¬ 
curity.’ ’’ 

“What do you think of the 
world? 

“ The world is a mess. It 
always bas been.’ ’ 

"I’m happy for you, stu¬ 
dent. You answered my ques¬ 
tions in a typical fashion, and 
in your answers you revealed 
your selfishness, your ignor¬ 
ance. and your indifference. 
You talk of children. It’s 
understandable and normal, 
but will you feel right bring¬ 
ing children into this world, 
a world where security means 
having more missiles and 
bombs than the other fellow, 
where religion is for Sundays, 
and where weekdays are spent 
getting ahead by walking on 
the little guy? 

“You talk of home and se¬ 
curity. Commendable. But 
what do these words mean in 
a country where t h e only 
reason the divorce rate i s 
kept from going higher is the 
expense and entanglement of 
legal red tape, where Ameri¬ 
cans fight Americans over 
lunch counters and in front of 
schools where the little chil¬ 
dren can watch? 

‘You say you aren’t afraid 
—your country will take care 
of you. Well, let me tell you 
—you are your country. With¬ 
out your support, your inter¬ 
est, your faith, the country is 
nothing. I f you don’t care 
what goes o n then nobody 
does. 

‘You agree the world is a 
mess. \ ou think this is inev¬ 
itable. and that you can do 
nothing about it. I wonder 
how many people there arc 
that think the same way you 
do. What would happen if 
you and all the others surren- 
ly changed your outlook and 
decided something could be 
done? 


Peace Corps Is 
For Volunteers 


What is the Peace Corps 
looking for in a Volunteer? 

A specific "needed skill" is 
the first requirement. The 
Peace Corps was established 
to respond to requests from 
host nations. 

The range of needed skills 
is great. Most nations re¬ 
questing Volunteers will b e 
industrially less developed 
than the U.SA. ‘They will 
want engineers, technicians, 
teachers, craftsmen and ad¬ 
ministrators. 

Other countries will seek to 
improve their agricultural sy¬ 
stem, creating a need for 
farmers who understand the 
land and the use of modem 
implements and for agricul¬ 
tural specialists with college 
degrees. 

Government and political 
science majors may be in de¬ 
mand by a newly formed na¬ 
tion anxious to establish an 
effective administration. 

Teachers are in short sup¬ 
ply in South Asia, Latin A- 
merica and Africa. Some will 
be called upon to teach En¬ 
glish, others to work in sec¬ 
ondary schools. Some nations 
will want college-level teach¬ 
ers in a wide variety of sub¬ 
jects. 

Those with laboratory or 
sanitation skills will be need¬ 
ed in tropical areas where the 
threat of disease and pestil¬ 
ence is great. 

Construction talents, elec¬ 
trical abilities, civil engineer¬ 
ing skills and the like are also 
in extremely short supply. 

Second, the Volunteer must 
understand that he is not try¬ 
ing to remake the world in 
our image. He must sincerely 
appreciate the values, modes 
and traditions of the society 
in which he works. 

‘Third, the Volunteer must 
be “adaptable” enough to un¬ 
dertake a difficult and some¬ 
times frustrating assignment 
A Volunteer’s individual con¬ 
tribution will be small and 
may go unappreciated or un¬ 
recognized. Inner stamina and 
security are essentials if frus¬ 
tration and disillusionment 
are to be avoided. ‘The Vol¬ 
unteer must not go abroad 
seeking to solve personal pro¬ 
blems he cannot solve at 
home- 

Fourth, the Volunteer 
should appreciate that the 
Peace Corps is a “two way 
Street,” that the Volunteer 
will learn as much as he 
teaches. His own horizons will 
will be expanded and broad¬ 
ened while he works in har¬ 
mony with h i s host nation 
counterpart. 

Fifth, the Volunteer must 
understand the strengths of 
democracy and how our sys¬ 
tem functions. He must be 
able to answer both the ques¬ 
tions put to him by the sin¬ 
cere doubter and the profes¬ 
sional agitator. 

Sixth, the Volunteer must 
have a grasp of the host na¬ 
tion's language. Intensive 
language training will be part 
of the Peace Corps training 
program. 

Seventh, the Volunteer 
must be in excellent physical 
condition. Living for two or 
three years in an underde¬ 
veloped rural tropical condi¬ 
tion will require Volunteers 
to be in tiptop physical shape. 


Eighth, the Volunteer must 
understand what he is doing 
and why he is serving his 
country in the cause of world 
peace. 

“Hen and women over 18 
meeting these standards will 
be welcomed into the Peace 
Corps,” Sargent Shriver, the 
program’s Director said. 

“At a critical point in his¬ 
tory.” Shriver said, "The Pres¬ 
ident has placed an important 
and difficult task i nthe hands 
of our nation's young people. 
The success of the Peace 
Corps depends on how well 
they meet the standards set 
fo rthem.” 

Peace Corps Volunteers can 
be deferred from military ser¬ 
vice under the present Uni¬ 
versal Training and Service 
Act. 

When they return home. 
Volunteers could qualify for 
further deferment. 

Important factors listed by 
Hershey for consideration 
when the Volunteer returns 
home include his age, his phy¬ 
sical condition, his marital 
status, the regulations which 
apply when he is released 
“and whether or not the reg¬ 
istrant on his return from 
service with the Peace Corps 
engages in an activity which 
permits him to be deferred 
in the national health, safety, 
or interest.” 


Should Campus 
Press Promote! 


“Should college newspaper 
journalists promote their own 
editorial policy? Should fac¬ 
ulty. administration and stu¬ 
dent groups be exempt from 
published criticism? These 
are questions that arise in 
discussions of college journ¬ 
alistic practices, and which 
are often hotly disputed by 
those students who feel that 
their inherent liberties are 
being curtailed, and by the 
faculty and administrative of¬ 
ficers, who feel that they are 
often put upon hy irresponsi¬ 
ble students looking for some¬ 
thing about which to be con¬ 
troversial. 

“Some say that one builds 
character by letting students 
take part in the conflict em¬ 
bodied in editorial spats with 
the fraternities, sororities, in¬ 
structors and professors, and 
the administrative staff. This 
would be a boon to the sin¬ 
cere students of journalism 
and political science, working 
towards goals which they con¬ 
sider very real. 

‘On the other hand, some 
consider the confusion and 
bitterness created through de¬ 
mands for answers t o pro¬ 
blems, answers to criticisms, 
and solutions to the petty so¬ 
cial quarrels between campus 
organizations a long step to 
take td satisfy the need for 
individual freedom of opini¬ 
on. 

“There is one thing we be¬ 
lieve a college paper can do 
through the use of a provoca¬ 
tive editorial approach. It can 
cause the students to react to 
the written opinion and take 
a stand—aye or nay—drawing 
them away from the passive 
stand they normally take. 


Greeks Express Noble Purposes 


BY JOYCE WHITE 

The social and cultural cli¬ 
mate on LT-M campus should 
improve considerably in the 
near future if the objectives, 
purposes, and goals expressed 
in the charters of the newly- 
organized Greek letter groups 
are valid measuring sticks. 

Alpha Gamma Rho, for ex¬ 
ample, purports to make bet¬ 
ter men, and through them a 
broader and better agricul¬ 
ture by surrounding members 
with influences tending to en¬ 
courage individual endeavor, 
resourcefulness, and aggres¬ 
sive effort along lines making 
for the development of better 
mental, social, moral and phy¬ 
sical qualities; to promote a 
wider acquaintance and a 
broader outlook on the part 
of agricultural men through 
fellowship in a national org¬ 
anization that stands for the 
best social, mental and moral 
development. 

These noble sentiments are 
employed by members of Phi 
Sigma Kappa Fraternity t o 
press the cardinal principles 
of the fraternity: to promote 
brotherhood, one of the uni¬ 
versal and inherent desirea 
of man for comradeship and 
friendship; to stimulate schol¬ 
arship, one of the central ob¬ 
jectives of higher education; 
to promote among its mem¬ 


bers an appreciation o f the devclop-each member’s ability 
value of learning and to de- and willingness to assume and 


velop habits o f Intellectual 
growth, to the end that they 
may be better trained for lea- 
ership and service; to devel¬ 
op character. 

Pi Kappa Fraternity holds 
the following as their objec¬ 
tives: to establish a brother¬ 
hood among the students and 
men o f learning connected 
with the University of Ten¬ 
nessee, Martin, and other col¬ 
leges and institutions of learn¬ 
ing in the U.S.; to establish 
and maintain an aristocracy 
of learning consisting of the 
ablest men In all the branches 
of the University; to raise the 
standards of morality and de¬ 
velop the character of men; to 
diffuse culture and encourage 
chivalry among men; to pro¬ 
mote the spirit of civic right- 
eou.sness and quicken the na¬ 
tional conscience to the end 
that only men of character, 
integrity, and efficiency shall 
be elected or appointed to po¬ 
sitions of honor and responai- 
bility. 

Alpha Della Pi Sorority in 
setting forth objectives and 
goals aims to promote schol¬ 
arship. leadership, integrity, 
sincerity, enthusiasm, respon¬ 
sibility, initiative, loyalty and 
perserverance; to develop in¬ 
dividuality while giving a part 
of themselves to the group; to 


uphold the high standards of 
Christian womanhood and 
scholarship demanded by the 
sisterhood. 

Six purposes are expressed 
by Chi Omega Fraternity to 
the effect that the real func¬ 
tion of education is to equip 
an individual with the dill 
by which to earn a living, to 
show the individual the re¬ 
quirements of good citizen¬ 
ship and help the individual 
develop as a person. These 
purposes are directed toward 
these objectives: personnel; 
sincere learning and credit¬ 
able scholarship; participation 
in campus activities; voca¬ 
tions; friendship; and social 
and civic service. 

The avowed purpose ofZeta 
Tau Alpha is to “intensify 
friendships, foster a spirit of 
love, create such sentiments, 
perform such deeds, and mold 
such opinions as will conduce 
to the building up of a purer 
and nobler womanhood in the 
world.” A further stated aim 
Is to assist each girl, through 
the programs of the chapter, 
to work out for herself a “De¬ 
sign for Living,” by develop¬ 
ing the characteristics of sin¬ 
cere icholarthip, understand¬ 
ing friendship, good citizen¬ 
ship, and a well - disciplined 
and complete personality.
